ECHOSTAR 19 (JUPITER 2) is a high capacity broadband geostationary satellite, designed to connect rural America to high-speed Internet service, successfully rocketed into space today aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 booster. ECHOSTAR 19 will be used by HughesNet, the country's top-selling satellite Internet services company, to shine spotbeams of coverage across the U.S., Canada, Mexico and regions of Central America from geosynchronous orbit 22,300 miles (35,888 km) up. The satellite will operate above the equator at 97.1 degrees West longitude, matching Earth's rotation and remaining in lockstep over the specific spot of the globe.
